Great ideas are everywhere – and sometimes they pop up when you’re on Slack talking to your team. Connect slack to your product management workflow and send ideas directly from Slack into ProdPad.

We\u2019ve built out an API and use Zapier to allow you to integrate ProdPad<\/a> with a wide range of other tools and services, including dev, project, customer support and task management tools \u2013 and many more! Zapier works by having a \u201ctrigger\u201d app and an \u201caction\u201d app. In this case, Slack is the trigger and ProdPad is the action.

Zapier will begin by asking you to authenticate your trigger. Once that is done, select the type of trigger the zap will use. In this case, I’ve set it up for when there is a new message posted to Slack.

You will then be prompted to authorize the action – in this case your Slack account.

I defined a channel and a filter. In this case, my filter\u00a0identifies any piece of conversation that contains the text ‘#idea’ – automatically sending that text over to ProdPad.

Now it’s time to set up the action itself and map the fields.

These are our current settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slack<\/strong><\/th> ProdPad<\/strong><\/th><\/tr>
Text<\/td>Idea Description<\/td><\/tr>
Added from #ChannelName channel on Slack by username<\/td>Notes<\/td><\/tr>
source:slack<\/td>Tags<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This will ensure that the text, along with the source, are tagged and added to your ProdPad account.

Once you\u2019ve mapped everything, you can go ahead and run a test zap to make sure the information is coming in as needed. Keep in mind that this test will generate an instance within ProdPad.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"connect<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re happy with the results, just click \u2018Turn on Zap\u2019 and done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
